against the Boston and Lowell. Concord

other points in the West where they come
in competition with the Boston and AL.

than those of the latter company's to the

certain combination of roads including a
part of the roads in the National Despatch
line VIZ: The Boston and Lowell, Con-
cord, Northern and Central Vermont
maintain higher rates to St Albaus and
other intermediate points than the De

That is, higher rates for short haul than
for long haul on the same line in the

The Boston and Albany company also
claims that the Concord company, the

a BEAUTIFUL CRAFT.


The yacht Ripple, owned by Messrs. A.
Adsit and j. j. Bigelow made her trial
trip Tuesday and as far as she has been
tested she has fully fulfilled the eXpecta.
tons of her owners, being a first class
boat in every respect. She has not been
tested for speed with other flyers but she
easily showed that she is one of the fast
est crafts on the lake. She was built by
l.. w. Clark of Willsboro, the builder of
several of the fastest boats on the lake on
a model designed by Mr.. Adsit. She is 20
feet long over all, feet I inches beam,
7 feet inches on the water line, draws 4
feet of water to the bottom of the keet, 2
feet inches to her hull, She carries about
1900 pounds of ballast.
She has very handsome suit of sails,
consisting of mainsail, jib spinnaker
and gait topsail, made by j. Wakefield of
this city. With sails all set she carries
about 900 feet. Everything entering into
her construction is of tirst-class material
and she could not be duplicated for 5000.
The Ripple is very handsome addition
to Burlington's fleet.

Rev. j. S. Ainslie of the Congregational
church at Ogdensburg, n. Y, says in the
silent WOrker
\ large number of our readers among
the COngregationalist churches of North
ern New York do not take any first class
religious journal. This is a great mistake,
for no living Christian can keep abreast of
the current religious questions, of vital
Importance, without reading sucn paper.
Then, such literature is Indispensable to
the best living and the best character. To
all such we would commend the COngrG-
gdtiOndliSt of Boston. 1t is a large paper,
ably edited, Its staff of contributors is
equal to the best in the country. 1t de-
votes two columns each week to the dis
cussiou and application of the Sabbath
school lesson. 1t keeps its readers posted
upon all phases of the work that Is being
carried on by our great benevolent socle-
ties, and stimulates an interest in mis-
sions. 1t has spicy letters each week
from the great centres of influence in our
country, from Washington, New York
and Chicago, or the West, giving an out
line of the leading events and discussions
that are constantly taking place in those
prominent cities. And it is full of stimu-
lating articles and suggestions for earnest
and aggressive Christian work.
Many Congregationalists in Vermont
